The Brixton

I'm excited about all the cool stuff that's coming to the corner of U St. and 9th. I mean, Nelly's is already pretty cool, but in just the past couple years, we've added Dickson Wine Bar and Dodge City. And now The Brixton is coming. Prince of Petworth hears their just a few week from opening, and you can be sure we'll be there when they do. For now, check out these pictures.

End of an Era

Prince of Petworth reports that Asylum, long time punk bar in Adams Morgan, will be no more. For years, Asylum was a great place to grab a good burger and a cheap beer, and probably the only decent place in Adams Morgan to do so. Last September, its owners succumbed to the slow march of gentrification, and opened up a decent-for-DC BBQ joint, Smoke and Barrel, where the upstairs used to be. Now the downstairs will be renovated to match the upstairs -- from black and spiky to brown and oaky. RIP, Asylum.
